Parc national du Lac‑Témiscouata
Our team's favourites
In the heart of the Appalachians and bordering one of the most impressive lakes in Quebec, the park enables you to immerse yourself, hiking, biking or boating, in a generous nature and a thousand-year-old history. A unique place for a forest bathing in good company!

The park’s signature: Archaeology
The park’s territory was once a strategic crossroads of great importance to the First Nations. A total of 54 archaeology sites have been identified in the park. Discover this science with our archaeologist through captivating discovery activities.
The Montagne de Chert
The Montagne de Chert trail allows you to soak up the atmosphere of an old maple grove. Appreciated for its coolness in the summer and its colours in the autumn, this looped trail crosses a mature forest where one feels very small under the leafy canopy. Plan to picnic at the viewpoint overlooking the islands.
A Variety of Water Sport
The park offers a variety of options for water sport enthusiasts. Whether on the immense Lake Témiscouata or on the Touladi lakes, there is no shortage of options. Take advantage of our boat rental service which includes canoes, sea and recreational kayaks, pedal boats and paddle boards.
The Épinoche: the park’s water shuttle
Hikers and cyclists can take the Épinoche which links the anse à William to the Cabano district of Témiscouata-sur-le-Lac. This 15-minutes crossing allows you to contemplate the immensity of Lac Témiscouata and gives access to the Petit-Témis bicycle path (Route Verte 8)
The naturally curious’ trail
With a length of 720 m, this trail is set up for children and is scattered with physical challenges and fun discovery games. Build a lodge like the beavers, jump from trunk to trunk like the lumberjacks, hunt caribou like the Amerindians and jump on the zip line to fly like the bald eagle.
Sandy shore of Grand-Lac-Touladi
A superb place to enjoy the beautiful sunny days of summer with your family. You will appreciate the starry skies and the colorful sunsets. It is also the perfect place to learn to paddle surf or kayak. It is here that the most beautiful summer memories are made.
